Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish Jewish lawyer, dedicated his life to creating legal protections for ethnic, national, religious, and cultural groups.
In his memoirs, Lemkin stated that learning about "contemporary examples of genocide ... such as the slaughter of the Armenians" made him understand "that the diversity of nations, religious groups, and races is essential to civilization." In 1933, he unsuccessfully proposed that the League of Nations create international laws to protect groups.
When the Nazi German army invaded Poland in 1939, he fled to the United States.
Writing that "new conceptions require new terms," Lemkin introduced the word genocide in his book AxisRule in Occupied Europe (1944). After World War II, he learned that some 40 members of his family, including his parents, had been killed in the Holocaust.
Thereafter, Lemkin focused all his efforts on lobbying for the creation of a convention against genocide at the United Nations.
His efforts culminated in the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Raphael Lemkin

Raphael Lemkin (June 24, 1900 – August 28, 1959) was a lawyer of Polonized-Jewish descent who is best known for coining the word genocide and initiating the Genocide Convention. Lemkin coined the word genocide in 1943 or 1944 from the rooted words genos (Greek for family, tribe, or race) and -cide (Latin for killing).

Early life and education

Lemkin was born Rafał Lemkin on 24 June 1900 in the village of Bezwodne, near to Wolkowysk, during a period when it was part of the Russian Empire. Lemkin grew up in a Polanized Jewish family on a large farm near Wolkowysk and was one of three children born to Joseph Lemkin and Bella née Pomeranz. His father was a farmer and his mother a highly intellectual woman who was a painter, linguist, and philosophy student with a large collection of books on literature and history. Lemkin and his two brothers (Elias and Samuel) were home schooled by their mother. As a youth Lemkin was fascinated by the subject of atrocities and would often question his mother about such events as the Sack of Carthage, Mongol invasions and conquests and the persecution of Huguenots. Lemkin apparently came across the concept of mass atrocities while, at the age of 12, while reading Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz, in particular the passage where Nero threw Christians to the lions. During World War I, the Lemkin family farm was located in an area of fighting between Russian and German troops. The family buried their books and valuables before taking shelter in a nearby forest. During the fighting, artillery fire destroyed their home and German troops seized their crops, horses and livestock. Lemkin's brother Samuel eventually died of of pneumonia and malnutrition while the family remained in the forest.

Raphael

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (Italian:[raffaˈɛllo ˈsantsjo da urˈbiːno]; April 6 or March 28, 1483–April 6, 1520), known as Raphael (/ˈræfeɪəl/, US/ˈræfiəl, ˌrɑːfaɪˈɛl/), was an Italianpainter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.

Raphael was enormously productive, running an unusually large workshop and, despite his death at 37, leaving a large body of work. Many of his works are found in the Vatican Palace, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career. The best known work is The School of Athens in the Vatican Stanza della Segnatura. After his early years in Rome much of his work was executed by his workshop from his drawings, with considerable loss of quality. He was extremely influential in his lifetime, though outside Rome his work was mostly known from his collaborative printmaking. After his death, the influence of his great rival Michelangelo was more widespread until the 18th and 19th centuries, when Raphael's more serene and harmonious qualities were again regarded as the highest models. His career falls naturally into three phases and three styles, first described by Giorgio Vasari: his early years in Umbria, then a period of about four years (1504–1508) absorbing the artistic traditions of Florence, followed by his last hectic and triumphant twelve years in Rome, working for two Popes and their close associates.

Etymology

Genocide has become an official term used in international relations. The word "genocide" was not in use before 1944. Before this was established, Winston Churchill referred to it as a crime with no name. In that year, a Polish-Jewish lawyer named Raphael Lemkin, described the policies of systematic murder founded by the Nazis as genocide. The word genocide is the combination of the Greek word "geno" (meaning tribe or race) and “caedere” (the Latin word for to kill). The word is defined as a specific set of violent crimes that are committed against a certain group with the attempt to remove the entire group from existence or to destroy them.

Watchers of the Sky

Watchers of the Sky is a 2014 American documentary film directed by Edet Belzberg. The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2014 in the U.S. Documentary Competition. It won the two awards at the festival. It went on to win the Jonathan Daniels Award at the Monadnock International Film Festival and the Ostrovsky Award for Best Documentary Film at the Jerusalem Film Festival.

After its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, Music Box Films acquired the US distribution rights. The film was released in October 2014. Films We Like released it in Canada and Madman Entertainment released it in New Zealand and Australia.

Hypnotize (album)

Hypnotize is the fifth album by Armenian Americanrock band System of a Down and the second half of the Mezmerize/Hypnotizedouble album. It was released on November 22, 2005, six months after the release of companion album Mezmerize. Mezmerize and Hypnotize both debuted at number #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart making the band one of the few to achieve this with two albums in the same year. Hypnotize was System of a Down's last studio album before their four-year hiatus from August 2006 to November 2010.

Reception

Hypnotize opened at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 320,000 copies the first week. The album debuted at #1 on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 47,000 copies in its first week. The album was certified gold and platinum by the RIAA on December 13, 2005. Since its release, Hypnotize has sold 8 million copies worldwide.

Raphael Lemkin Defines Genocide (1949) Full Broadcast

Not everyone realizes that “genocide” is a word that was not coined until 1943 by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish jurist. Turkish propagandists know this well. They point out that what happened to the Armenians could be a massacre or a tragedy, but not genocide, simply because the term genocide did not exist back in 1915. This argument is as ridiculous as saying that Cain could not have murdered Abel because the word murder was not yet invented at that time.
Mr. Lemkin had repeatedly mentioned in his writings that as a young man he was so troubled by the Armenian mass murders and the then on-going Holocaust that he coined the word genocide and worked tirelessly until the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, on Dec. 9, 1948. (https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007050)
Adolf Hitler used the episode to justify the Nazi murder of six million Jews, saying in 1939: “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

With his provocative question, “why is the killing of a million a lesser crime than the killing of an individual?” Raphael Lemkin changed the course of history. An extraordinary testament to one man’s perseverance, the Sundance award-winning film Watchers of the Sky examines the life and legacy of the Polish-Jewish lawyer and linguist who coined the term genocide. Before Lemkin, the notion of accountability for war crimes was virtually non-existent. After experiencing the barbarity of the Holocaust firsthand, he devoted his life to convincing the international community that there must be legal retribution for mass atrocities targeted at minor...

Raphael Lemkin on the Genesis of the Concept Behind the Word "Genocide"

The Genocide Word by Raphael Lemkin #ArmenianGenocide

Raphael Lemkin, is best known for his work against genocide, a word he coined in 1944Genocide:
The last war has focused our attention on the phenomenon of the destruction of whole populations -of national, racial and religious groups - both biologically and culturally. The German practices, especially in the course of occupation, are too well known. Their general plan was to win the peace though the war be lost, and that goal could have been achieved through successfully changing the political and demographic interrelationships in Europe in favor of Germany. The population not destroyed was to be integrated in the German cultural, political and economic pattern.
In this way a mass obliteration of nationhoods had been planned throughout occupied Europe. The Nazi leaders had stated very b...

With his provocative question, “why is the killing of a million a lesser crime than the killing of an individual?” Raphael Lemkin changed the course of history. An extraordinary testament to one man’s perseverance, the Sundance award-winning film Watchers of the Sky examines the life and legacy of the Polish-Jewish lawyer and linguist who coined the term genocide. Before Lemkin, the notion of accountability for war crimes was virtually non-existent. After experiencing the barbarity of the Holocaust firsthand, he devoted his life to convincing the international community that there must be legal retribution for mass atrocities targeted at minor...

Interview with Mr. Movses Haneshanyan, 103 years old, survivor of the Armenian Genocide

Interview with Mr. Movses Haneshanyan, 103 years old, survivor of the Armenian GenocideOn the eve of World War I, there were two million Armenians in the declining Ottoman Empire. By 1922, there were fewer than 400,000. The others — some 1.5 million — were killed in what historians consider a genocide.
As David Fromkin put it in his widely praised history of World War I and its aftermath, "A Peace to End All Peace": "Rape and beating were commonplace. Those who were not killed at once were driven through mountains and deserts without food, drink or shelter. Hundreds of thousands of Armenians eventually succumbed or were killed ."
The man who invented the word "genocide"— Raphael Lemkin, a lawyer of Polish-Jewish origin — was moved to investigate the attempt to eliminate an entire peopl...

Making a film about the persistent scourge of genocide in our time might seem like a deeply depressing undertaking, but in Watchers of the Sky, MacArthur Award--winning documentarian Edet Belzberg creates an illuminating and visually eloquent journey into this darkest corner of human depravity, using as a framework the extraordinary life of a nearly forgotten Polish Jewish lawyer and human rights advocate: Raphael Lemkin (1900--1959). As a young student, Lemkin had been appalled by the impunity that greeted the mass murder of Armenians by Ottoman Turks. "Why is the killing of a million," he wrote, "a lesser crime than the killing of an individual?" He set about his life's task of creating ...

Armenian Genocide Survivor Haigas Bonapart

The murder of extended families, the targeting of community leaders, the critical role of eyewitnesses--each of these factors surfaces in Haigas Bonapart’s interview. These tactics are all too familiar to those of us who study the crime of genocide and the strategies employed by its perpetrators. By destroying communal ties and eliminating those individuals who might rally a group in self-defense, civilians under systematic assault are made much more vulnerable to isolation and mass violence.
Mr. Bonapart also underscores the power of a single voice when he describes a pharmacist from his community. This man managed to survive a massacre and bring both witness and warning to other Armenians who had been told that their fate would be deportation, not death. Survival is in itself a form of...

Launch of the Raphael Lemkin International Prize for the Prevention of Mass Atrocities 8

The Raphael Lemkin International Prize aims at becoming a globally recognized award honoring individuals and organizations pioneering ways as to how humanity could prevent the occurrence of genocides. The prize will pay tribute to the innovative and forward-looking approach Lemkin took at his time and make of this exemplary attitude an encouragement in others willing...

The population not destroyed was to be integrated in the German cultural, political and economic pattern.
In this way a mass obliteration of nationhoods had been planned throughout occupied Europe. The Nazi leaders had stated very bluntly their intent to wipe out the Poles, the Russians; to destroy demographically and culturally the French element in Alsace-Lorraine, the Slavonians in Carniola and Carinthia. They almost achieved their goal in exterminating the Jews and Gypsies in Europe. Obviously, the German experience is the most striking and the most deliberate and thorough, but history has provided us with other examples of the destruction of entire nations, and ethnic and religious groups. There are, for example, the destruction of Carthage; that of religious groups in the wars of Islam and the Crusades; the massacres of the Albigenses and the Waldenses; and more recently, the massacre of the Armenians.

Those who were not killed at once were driven through mountains and deserts without food, drink or shelter. Hundreds of thousands of Armenians eventually succumbed or were killed ."
The man who invented the word "genocide"— Raphael Lemkin, a lawyer of Polish-Jewish origin — was moved to investigate the attempt to eliminate an entire people by accounts of the massacres of Armenians. He did not, however, coin the word until 1943, applying it to Nazi Germany and the Jews in a book published a year later, "AxisRule in Occupied Europe."
The roots of the genocide lie in the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
The empire's ruler was also the caliph, or leader of the Islamic community. Minority religious communities, like the Christian Armenians, were allowed to maintain their religious, social and legal structures, but were often subject to extra taxes or other measures.
Concentrated largely in eastern Anatolia, many of them merchants and industrialists, Armenians, historians say, appeared markedly better off in many ways than their Turkish neighbors, largely small peasants or ill-paid government functionaries and soldiers.
At the turn of the 20th Century, the once far-flung Ottoman empire was crumbling at the edges, beset by revolts among Christian subjects to the north — vast swaths of territory were lost in the Balkan Wars of 1912-13 — and the subject of coffee house grumbling among Arab nationalist intellectuals in Damascus and elsewhere.

Learn how JasonLemkin, CEO of Echosign, built a $100M revenue machine. See the complete writeup including more takeaways, resources, and definitions at https://growtheverywhere.com/growth-everywhere-interview/jason-lemkin/
In this video discusses press and content marketing, market position, customer service, industry standards, and sales quotas. Even while a corporate VP of Adobe, Jason knew he wanted to share his journey to success with others, so he launched Saastr and grew it to 500,000 visitors each month with a mission to teach others how to do it better than himself.
Key Takeaways:
-How going from $0 to $100 million in revenue takes trial and error.
-Launched EchoSign from TechCrunch in 2006 and grew through press and content marketing.
-Jason made a lot of mistakes in the beginning including launching with the wrong messaging and market position.
-Credits himself with doing one thing right – lavishing existing customers with incredible attention.
-Reminds us to focus on what you’re good at and love to do. If you’re terrible at sales, but great at content marketing, build a brilliant online community to convert into paying customers.
-Jason knew he was great at closing a huge deal with a company like Google, but couldn’t do 50 cold calls a day to small businesses. He hired people to do it for him and focused on his strengths instead.
-Why Jason thinks getting to $10 million is the magic number in business building. Suddenly you can get a seat at any deal in town and business gets easier. You might not win every deal, but people know your mini-brand.
-By nature, entrepreneurs tend to be impatient. But it takes about two years before you’ll see the benefits of investing in customer care and loyalty, and nearly three years to really see a quantitative impact. In year two, Jason discovered 80% of their growth came from existing customers through upsells and upgrades.
-Why you shouldn’t hire a VP of Sales until you have at least two reps consistently hitting their quota.
-How to use industry standards to set sales quotas and commissions and strategies to keeping customers and employees happy.
Definitions:
-SaaS (Software as a service) – a software distribution model where a service provider hosts the application on the cloud and made available to customers. Users are essentially borrowing online software instead of purchasing and installing it on their computers. Think Gmail or Google Apps only bigger.
-B2B – Business-to-business the exchange of products or services between two businesses instead of between business and consumers.
-Content Marketing – creating valuable content designed to attract and engage a target audience. A primary goal in content marketing is to develop a brand voice, raise awareness of your brand and convert your audience into customers.
-Mini-brand – Mini-brands aren’t true brands that everyone knows about like Google. Jason describes mini-brands as a handful of customers in your target audience who know about you. There may only be a few of these customers in the beginning, but they eventually start coming to you to learn more and start spreading the word.
How to Grow Your B2BRevenue:
-Pay lavish attention and care on current customers to foster repeat buyers and word-of-mouth marketing.
-Start with what you know. Focus on growing your content marketing and online community if that’s where your strengths lie.
-Find ways to scale your success techniques. Landing one great sale isn’t enough if you can’t do it more than once.
-Develop your mini-brand until your true brand catches up. Your core, target audience will eventually find your mini-brand and help spread the word as they learn more about your company.

Making a film about the persistent scourge of genocide in our time might seem like a deeply depressing undertaking, but in Watchers of the Sky, MacArthur Award--winning documentarian Edet Belzberg creates an illuminating and visually eloquent journey into this darkest corner of human depravity, using as a framework the extraordinary life of a nearly forgotten Polish Jewish lawyer and human rights advocate: Raphael Lemkin (1900--1959). As a young student, Lemkin had been appalled by the impunity that greeted the mass murder of Armenians by Ottoman Turks. "Why is the killing of a million," he wrote, "a lesser crime than the killing of an individual?" He set about his life's task of creating an international legal framework for preventing and prosecuting such "barbarity" (the word he used until he came up with a new term, "genocide") in 1944, by which time his family had already become victims of the Nazis' form of the practice. The documentary skillfully interweaves Lemkin's story, exquisitely rendering imagery and prose into evocative animations, with profiles of four contemporary human rights advocates at the International Criminal Court and the United Nations, including US AmbassadorSamantha Power, whose Pulitzer Prize--winning A Problem from Hell helped inspire this exceptional and moving film.

Watchers of the SkyOfficialTrailer 1 (2014) - Documentary HD
With his provocative question, “why is the killing of a million a lesser crime than the killing of an individual?” Raphael Lemkin changed the course of history. An extraordinary testament to one man’s perseverance, the Sundance award-winning film Watchers of the Sky examines the life and legacy of the Polish-Jewish lawyer and linguist who coined the term genocide. Before Lemkin, the notion of accountability for war crimes was virtually non-existent. After experiencing the barbarity of the Holocaust firsthand, he devoted his life to convincing the international community that there must be legal retribution for mass atrocities targeted at minorities. An impassioned visionary, Lemkin confronted world apathy in a tireless battle for justice, setting the stage for the Nuremberg trails and the creation of theInternational Criminal Court.
Inspired by Samantha Power’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book A ProblemFrom Hell, this multi-faceted documentary interweaves Raphael Lemkin’s struggle with the courageous efforts of four individuals keeping his legacy alive: Luis Moreno Ocampo, Chief Prosecutor of the ICC; Samantha Power, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; Ben Ferencz, a former Nuremberg prosecutor still tenaciously lobbying the UN for peace, and Rwandan Emmanuel Uwurukundo, UN Refugee AgencyFieldDirector in Chad. Alternating live interviews with rare archival footage and striking animation, Watchers of the Sky illuminates the compassion and bravery of these humanitarians and powerfully demonstrates the ability of global activism to give a voice to the silent victims of genocide.

The murder of extended families, the targeting of community leaders, the critical role of eyewitnesses--each of these factors surfaces in Haigas Bonapart’s interview. These tactics are all too familiar to those of us who study the crime of genocide and the strategies employed by its perpetrators. By destroying communal ties and eliminating those individuals who might rally a group in self-defense, civilians under systematic assault are made much more vulnerable to isolation and mass violence.
Mr. Bonapart also underscores the power of a single voice when he describes a pharmacist from his community. This man managed to survive a massacre and bring both witness and warning to other Armenians who had been told that their fate would be deportation, not death. Survival is in itself a form of resistance. It is through the memories of survivors and their willingness to share stories of their trauma that the historical record is given detail, credibility, and humanity.
The origins of the term “genocide” rest, in part, in the events of 1915-16 in Anatolia. Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin highlighted early exposure to the history of Ottoman attacks against Armenians, anti-Semitic pogroms, and other cases of targeted violence as key to his beliefs about the need for the protection of groups under international law. Inspired by the murder of his own family during the Holocaust, Lemkin tirelessly championed this legal concept until it was codified in the United NationsConvention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in 1948.

The murder of extended families, the targeting of community leaders, the critical role of eyewitnesses--each of these factors surfaces in Haigas Bonapart’s interview. These tactics are all too familiar to those of us who study the crime of genocide and the strategies employed by its perpetrators. By destroying communal ties and eliminating those individuals who might rally a group in self-defense, civilians under systematic assault are made much more vulnerable to isolation and mass violence.
Mr. Bonapart also underscores the power of a single voice when he describes a pharmacist from his community. This man managed to survive a massacre and bring both witness and warning to other Armenians who had been told that their fate would be deportation, not death. Survival is in itself a form of resistance. It is through the memories of survivors and their willingness to share stories of their trauma that the historical record is given detail, credibility, and humanity.

The EthnicOrigins of the Communist Revolution and The GreatestHolocaust in the History of Mankind.
Dr. David Duke shares in an illustrated video the Introduction for his new academic resource book on the ethnic motivations behind the Bolshevik Revolution and the mass genocides committed by the Soviets.
Dr. Duke in The SecretBehindCommunism, uses the research of Raphael Lemkin to expose the Bolshevik purposeful genocide against the Ukrainian people that took place in what is today called the Holodomor. He also exposes the Bolshevik war against the Russian intelligentsia and nobility was also an attempt at destroying the natural leadership of the Russian people, so as to render them weaker against their new rulers an ethnic minority harboring deep racial animosity toward the Russian people for historic anti-Semitism.
He shows how almost all reputable historians are of the opinion that the communists killed far more human beings than alleged against Hitler, yet he points out that the genocides of the Red Terror are almost totally ignored by Hollywood and the mass media.
This book is a massive resource on the issue offers the reader a real understanding of Communism as ethnic weapon, that has murdered and tortured more human beings than any other regime in history.
One of the most striking parts of the video is the revelation from Ynet News, an Israeli publication, that Gengrik Yadoda killed at least 10 million people in the Bolshevik State. Dr. Duke points out that not one in one thousand people even know his name, yet he has killed twice the number of victims than the JewishDeath toll in the Holocaust -- according leading Jewish Holocaust authority Raul Hilberg, of 5.1 million.
He also shows long, close relationship between communism and Zionism, and how both extremist entities have engaged in similar repressive strategies.
This is a vital new book, and you can reserve your first copy right off the press by making a donation toward the substantial printing costs to widely distribute this important book!

Launch of the Raphael Lemkin International Prize for the Prevention of Mass Atrocities 8

The Republic of Poland, due to the history of the country of overcoming genocide and establishing a democratic society, would like to honor the life, work and inspiration of one of her most distinguished citizens, and, together with the BudapestCentre for the InternationalPrevention of Genocide and MassAtrocities, decided to create the "Raphael LemkinInternational Prize for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities".
The Raphael Lemkin International Prize aims at becoming a globally recognized award honoring individuals and organizations pioneering ways as to how humanity could prevent the occurrence of genocides. The prize will pay tribute to the innovative and forward-looking approach Lemkin took at his time and make of this exemplary attitude an encouragement in others willing to contribute to the construction of a global architecture for the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities.
In a conference, organized by the Permanent Representations of Hungary and Poland and held in the premises of the United Nations Office in Geneva and at the margins of the XX Session of the Human Rights Council, with the participation of numerous delegations and permanent representatives both parties announced the launch of the prize.
The event was introduced by a welcome speech of the President of the Human Rights Council, H.E. Amb. Laura Dupuy Lasserre, who affirmed: "The launching of this International Prize provides an excellent opportunity to pay tribute to individuals who, like Raphael Lemkin, have devoted their life and work to the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities, and more generally to the advancement of human rights. I would like to congratulate the organizers for this initiative, which will no doubt help support projects aimed at preventing mass atrocities.
I am deeply aware of the need to have dedicated individuals and organizations that adopt forward-looking approaches and find creative ways to enhance the promotion and protection of human rights. Indeed, while the Human Rights Council is the main political body entrusted with the ambitious task of protecting and promoting human rights worldwide, it may only do so successfully and effectively by relying on individuals and organizations who relay its messages and standards outside of the UN. As stated by SG Ban Ki Moon, preventing genocide and mass atrocities requires us to "build a global partnership"; therefore let us join our efforts against this most heinous crime which has inflicted great losses on humanity".
The conference profited from the emotional testimony of Ms Nancy Steinson, former assistant of Dr. Lemkin, and illustrious panelists:
Prof. Luigi Zoja, italian psychologist and writer, author of "Paranoia, the Madness which Makes History" (Bollati Boringhieri, Turin, 2011);
PaolaGaeta, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Geneva / Adjunct Professor, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies / Director, Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights;
Kyle Matthews, SeniorDeputy Director, Will to Intervene Project, Concordia University;
Bertrand Ramcharan, former acting UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The event was moderated by Enzo Maria Le Fevre Cervini, Director for Research and Cooperation of the Budapest Centre for the International Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities

Raphael Lemkin Defines Genocide (1949) Full Broadcast

Not everyone realizes that “genocide” is a word that was not coined until 1943 by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish jurist. Turkish propagandists know this well. They point out that what happened to the Armenians could be a massacre or a tragedy, but not genocide, simply because the term genocide did not exist back in 1915. This argument is as ridiculous as saying that Cain could not have murdered Abel because the word murder was not yet invented at that time.
Mr. Lemkin had repeatedly mentioned in his writings that as a young man he was so troubled by the Armenian mass murders and the then on-going Holocaust that he coined the word genocide and worked tirelessly until the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, on Dec. 9, 1948.

The term "genocide" did not exist before 1944. It is a very specific term, referring to violent crimes committed against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group. Human rights, as laid out in the US Bill of Rights or the 1948 United NationsUniversal Declaration of Human Rights, concern the rights of individuals.
In 1944, Polish Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959) coined the term "genocide" in a book documenting Nazi policies of systematically destroying national and ethnic groups, including the mass murder of European Jews. He formed the word by combining geno-, from the Greek word for race or tribe, with -cide, from the Latin word for killing. Noting that the term denoted "an old practice in its modern development," Lemkin defined genocide as "a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves." The next year, the International Military Tribunal held at Nuremberg, Germany, charged top Nazis with "crimes against humanity." The word “genocide” was included in the indictment, but as a descriptive, not legal, term.
THE CRIME OF GENOCIDE
On December 9, 1948, in the shadow of the Holocaust and in no small part due to the tireless efforts of Lemkin himself, the United Nations approved the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This convention establishes "genocide” as an international crime, which signatory nations “undertake to prevent and punish.” It defines genocide as:
[G]enocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
While many cases of group-targeted violence have occurred throughout history and even since the Convention came into effect, the legal and international development of the term is concentrated into two distinct historical periods: the time from the coining of the term until its acceptance as international law (1944-1948) and the time of its activation with the establishment of international criminal tribunals to prosecute the crime of genocide (1991-1998). Preventing genocide, the other major obligation of the convention, remains a challenge that nations and individuals continue to face.

In 1944, Polish Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959) coined the term "genocide" in a book documenting Nazi policies of systematically destroying national and ethnic groups, including the mass murder of European Jews. He formed the word by combining geno-, from the Greek word for race or tribe, with -cide, from the Latin word for killing. Noting that the term denoted "an old practice in its modern development," Lemkin defined genocide as "a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves." The next year, the International Military Tribunal held at Nuremberg, Germany, charged top Nazis with "crimes against humanity." The word “genocide” was included in the indictment, but as a descriptive, not legal, term.
THE CRIME OF GENOCIDE
On December 9, 1948, in the shadow of the Holocaust and in no small part due to the tireless efforts of Lemkin himself, the United Nations approved the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This convention establishes "genocide” as an international crime, which signatory nations “undertake to prevent and punish.” It defines genocide as:
[G]enocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
While many cases of group-targeted violence have occurred throughout history and even since the Convention came into effect, the legal and international development of the term is concentrated into two distinct historical periods: the time from the coining of the term until its acceptance as international law (1944-1948) and the time of its activation with the establishment of international criminal tribunals to prosecute the crime of genocide (1991-1998). Preventing genocide, the other major obligation of the convention, remains a challenge that nations and individuals continue to face.

Raphael Lemkin Defines Genocide (1949) Full Broadcast

Not everyone realizes that “genocide” is a word that was not coined until 1943 by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish jurist. Turkish propagandists know this well. They point out that what happened to the Armenians could be a massacre or a tragedy, but not genocide, simply because the term genocide did not exist back in 1915. This argument is as ridiculous as saying that Cain could not have murdered Abel because the word murder was not yet invented at that time.
Mr. Lemkin had repeatedly mentioned in his writings that as a young man he was so troubled by the Armenian mass murders and the then on-going Holocaust that he coined the word genocide and worked tirelessly until the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, on Dec. 9, 1948.

The EthnicOrigins of the Communist Revolution and The GreatestHolocaust in the History of Mankind.
Dr. David Duke shares in an illustrated video the Introduction for his new academic resource book on the ethnic motivations behind the Bolshevik Revolution and the mass genocides committed by the Soviets.
Dr. Duke in The SecretBehindCommunism, uses the research of Raphael Lemkin to expose the Bolshevik purposeful genocide against the Ukrainian people that took place in what is today called the Holodomor. He also exposes the Bolshevik war against the Russian intelligentsia and nobility was also an attempt at destroying the natural leadership of the Russian people, so as to render them weaker against their new rulers an ethnic minority harboring deep racial animosity toward the Russian people for historic anti-Semitism.
He shows how almost all reputable historians are of the opinion that the communists killed far more human beings than alleged against Hitler, yet he points out that the genocides of the Red Terror are almost totally ignored by Hollywood and the mass media.
This book is a massive resource on the issue offers the reader a real understanding of Communism as ethnic weapon, that has murdered and tortured more human beings than any other regime in history.
One of the most striking parts of the video is the revelation from Ynet News, an Israeli publication, that Gengrik Yadoda killed at least 10 million people in the Bolshevik State. Dr. Duke points out that not one in one thousand people even know his name, yet he has killed twice the number of victims than the JewishDeath toll in the Holocaust -- according leading Jewish Holocaust authority Raul Hilberg, of 5.1 million.
He also shows long, close relationship between communism and Zionism, and how both extremist entities have engaged in similar repressive strategies.

The Genocide Word by Raphael Lemkin #ArmenianGenocide

Raphael Lemkin, is best known for his work against genocide, a word he coined in 1944Genocide:
The last war has focused our attention on the phenomenon of the destruction of whole populations -of national, racial and religious groups - both biologically and culturally. The German practices, especially in the course of occupation, are too well known. Their general plan was to win the peace though the war be lost, and that goal could have been achieved through successfully changing the political and demographic interrelationships in Europe in favor of Germany. The population not destroyed was to be integrated in the German cultural, political and economic pattern.
In this way a mass obliteration of nationhoods had been planned throughout occupied Europe. The Nazi leaders had stated very bluntly their intent to wipe out the Poles, the Russians; to destroy demographically and culturally the French element in Alsace-Lorraine, the Slavonians in Carniola and Carinthia. They almost achieved their goal in exterminating the Jews and Gypsies in Europe. Obviously, the German experience is the most striking and the most deliberate and thorough, but history has provided us with other examples of the destruction of entire nations, and ethnic and religious groups. There are, for example, the destruction of Carthage; that of religious groups in the wars of Islam and the Crusades; the massacres of the Albigenses and the Waldenses; and more recently, the massacre of the Armenians.

Eyewitness Testimony: Raphael Lemkin

Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish Jewish lawyer, dedicated his life to creating legal protections for ethnic, national, religious, and cultural groups.
In his memoirs, Lemkin stated that learning about "contemporary examples of genocide ... such as the slaughter of the Armenians" made him understand "that the diversity of nations, religious groups, and races is essential to civilization." In 1933, he unsuccessfully proposed that the League of Nations create international laws to protect groups.
When the Nazi German army invaded Poland in 1939, he fled to the United States.
Writing that "new conceptions require new terms," Lemkin introduced the word genocide in his book AxisRule in Occupied Europe (1944). After World War II, he learned that some 40 members of his family, including his parents, had been killed in the Holocaust.
Thereafter, Lemkin focused all his efforts on lobbying for the creation of a convention against genocide at the United Nations.
His efforts culminated in the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Lemkin committed the rest of his life to urging nations to pass legislation supporting the Convention.
